Keep in mind, the movie is a movie, not necessarily historically accurate. In order to present a more satisfying narrative, they breeze past some of the more contentious parts of the story, like how they acquired the farmland for the project and how many people died from preventable illness due to exposure to toxic elements and radiation.
I haven't seen it yet, but I expect it is an excellent film. You simply can't take it as the whole, honest truth.
I'm quite familiar with the history. I was quite surprised that they didn't tell the story of tickling the dragon's tail, for example, but I realized that wasn't the point being gone for. As an adult, I do know how to watch and interpret a film, but I am sure your comments are instructive for any children on Lemmy.
Not sure why you felt the need to try to invalidate my own feelings about the film - I wasn't asking for advice about it. I also find it a bit rich that you lecture me about the film when you haven't even watched it yourself.
